Improving Road Safety by Expanding the Number of Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras and Operational Hours - by Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

Mar 30, 2023
Description

The City's Vision Zero 2.0: Road Safety Plan highlights how higher speeds contribute to a higher risk of severe injuries and fatalities. The deployment of Automated Speed Enforcement cameras across the City has played an important role in positively changing driver behaviour on roads with the technology in place. To continue our efforts to improve safety across our City and protect the most vulnerable users of our transportation system, this motion recommends that City Council investigate all procurement options to acquire and implement 75 additional Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras as soon as possible, for a total of 150 city-wide. This motion also asks staff to report back on the feasibility improving the program further, including operational enhancements such as permanent installations.
